Problem connecting to WPA WiFi network with 6205

nhelke · 2012-10-06 11:20:00

Hi!

I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with the Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34) card. The first thing I tried on it was a Fedora live USB key I had. No problem connecting to my WiFi. Next I fired up the Arch install, and was able to get the WiFi to work using wpa_supplicant and its catch all example (with relevant modifications). I installed everything I wanted, in particular NetworkManager. But now it doesn't work:

Desperate, I stopped NetworkManager and tried to use wpa_supplicant again, to no avail:

wlan0: Authentication with 00:1c:b3:ae:84:1e timed out.

I am afraid I am not familiar enough with how WiFi and WPA work to understand what might be going wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi nhelke,
I just want to say I suffer from similar problem.
I use openSUSE on thinkpad x230. Wifi adapter is Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34) and knetworkmanager .
I can connect almost normally at home and have problem with connection at work.
Log from trying to connect to AP at work. It's WPA2.

Did you resolve this problem?

I have the Lenovo X220 with the same adapter. Works fine with Fedora 17 Gnome. In Fedora I am using Network Manager. On Fedora I don't recall using anything like wpa_supplicant with Network Manager, but I could be wrong. I know I do use wpa_supplicant in Arch Linux (XFCE) with Netcfg on the same laptop.

Some things to check:
Be sure and set up your firewall.

Shutdown and reboot both the wireless router and your computer. Sometimes this is all that's needed.

I have an idea to check adapter with different distros. As far as I know, kernel should work the same way on different distributions. Ok. will see.

firewall does not affect to connection.
I'm not sure we can solve it via this windows way (reboot it 3 times:) always 3 times ).

I have a Thinkpad X230 with: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN, REV=0xB0

I have no problems with netcfg. NetworkManager has always given me problems on every laptop and wireless & wired chipset. It is too bad too, it is a cool looking GUI and dose a lot of cool stuff. If it worked correctly all the time I would use it. However, I've never had a problem with WICD nor netcfg.
